Construction continues at the Wilderness Lodge. We know that besides the waterfront cabins, Disney is converting some or all of the South Wing of the main lodge into DVC, following a pattern used at the Polynesian and Animal Kingdom Lodge. The new DVC is rumored to be called “Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge”.
The photo below shows the ongoing construction on the South Wing.
This photo shows the new restaurant being constructed.

I truly hope the waterfront cabins are a successful endeavor compared to the disappointing Poly bungalows. The noise levels within and outside the bungalows and the interior layout made for a stressful stay.
Is Ft. Wilderness losing its beach to these cabins?
No, This only impacts the beach at the Wilderness Lodge.
During our trip in February we asked several cast members at WL about the construction and turning rooms into DVC. All they would say is that it’s a full room refurbishment.
Has Disney ever confirmed this is happening?
Disney hasn’t given any information except some sort of refurb is going on. It won’t be confirmed until they officially announce.
